Scott Darroch is Head of Strategic Communications and Engagement at Gas Safe Register
Gas Safety Week (16-22 September 2019) sees organisations from across the UK working together to raise awareness of the dangers of poorly maintained gas appliances, which can cause gas leaks, fires, explosions and carbon monoxide poisoning.

The ERDF is managed by the Department for Communities and Local Government, and the ESF is managed by the Department for Work and Pensions.

What about the vote to leave the EU?

Until the two-year Article 50 exit process has been completed, the UK remains a full Member State of the European Union. This means that in legal terms, access to European funds is unchanged.

Most European funding is channelled through the UK Government. Chancellor Philip Hammond has committed that the Government will guarantee the finance on all European funding deals up to 2020.

UK access to EU funding outside these commitments remains uncertain. The Federation, along with many other organisations, is seeking clarity from the Government about the availability of funding after the UK has formally left the EU.
